Beauty Tips For Body Care
This picture is currently where I'm at.The lighting isn't the best. It actually looks MUCH worse in person.Sorry, this is a long read.I’m 21 and have been suffering from acne since I was 14, but it has never been as bad as it is now. From age 14 to 19 my normal routine was using Clearasil acne wipes to wipe my face down 3-4 times a day and use some face wash only in the shower. It actually kept the acne down VERY well for the longest time. Then I started working in a (dirty) factory-type environment, which SEEMS to be when things started changing and my routine slowly stopped working. From that point on I’ve tried everything over the counter, except any proactive products. Side note… it is also around this time [ July 2014 ] that I quit SMOKING and started VAPING. I still vape daily.Prescription-wise I’ve used and still have Clindamycin ( but no longer use it), and I’m not sure if these are prescription but I got them from my sister about a week or two ago, they are topical creams:Finacea (azelaic acid) Gel, 15%Aczone (dapsone) gel, 5%.My recent changes in my routines: I started using the two topicals mentioned above, and also switched my daily face wash from DIAL for Acne, to Neutrogena Oil-Free face wash. I also bought a Neutrogena moisturizer since the topicals have been making my skin peel. I also started taking 30,000-50,000ui of Vitamin A daily because I’ve read that some people have had success doing this.my current routine:10am I get home from work and immediately shower, use the Neutrogena face wash, and put on the topical creams afterwards. At night, I wash my face using the same face wash and this time use the moisturizer. Sometimes I switch it up and use the moisturizer in the morning, or don’t use any topicals at all.Just a few days after changing my routine to what I mentioned above my acne started going away but in the past few days it’s been coming back VERY badly.My diet: I haven’t drank soda In years. The only fluids I take in are Water and Soy milk. ( I cut out dairy milk about a month ago ). I stopped taking my protein shake / mass gainer powder about three to four weeks ago. I try to stay away from junk food like candy or sweets but every few days or so I’ll have some poptarts or a chocolate bar from the vending machine at work.I’m going to make an appointment to see a dermatologist probably tomorrow but the process is long so I’m just posting this here to see if there’s ANY advice I could possibly get. ( sometimes I see some people commenting that identify the cause of the acne just by where it is? )I'm getting really desperate and feel like crying every night. ANY advice is appreciated, Thanks!.
